The Daily Mirror has issued a formal and prominent correction after a significant error was discovered in an obituary it published for American music executive Marc Citron.
The original article, which appeared in the newspaper's obituaries section, incorrectly stated that Mr. Citron had worked with the legendary musician David Bowie. This claim was factually inaccurate.
The correction, now published for the record, clarifies the mistake for its readers. It serves as a standard journalistic practice to ensure transparency and maintain accuracy in reporting.
Such clarifications are a vital part of a publication's commitment to truthfulness, allowing them to publicly address and rectify errors after publication.
